Every year Dave and I exchange an ornament that we’ve made. This tradition started back in 2005 when we were dating. The very first ornament he made for me is the birdhouse at the center bottom of the tree. It’s amazing to see that our little tree is almost full of these special ornaments.
This year I tried a variety of ideas and they just didn’t work. However, I had made several of the rope ornaments for the tutorial and also my TV segment, so I ended up giving him one of those. This one I made with cord I had indigo dyed.
Dave made his out of a gourd. So cute!

It’s fun looking at the ornaments we’ve made over the years. It’s just a little tradition that I really love.
Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday. Won’t be long and it will be another new year!
What a fun tradition. I love getting ornaments as a Christmas gift to display each year.

Barbara, Thanks. I’ve always loved ornaments and belong to a group where we have an ornament exchange every year. I used to buy them, but after my handmade ones were liked, I decided I’d make them from now on! Thanks for dropping by. Happy New Year!
